1
Prepare the Ingredients
Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Ensure the seasoning covers the entire surface of the steak.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
4
Chop the Rosemary
Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves.

5
Preheat the Skillet
Place a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes until it is very hot.
6
Sear the Filet
Once the skillet is hot, add the filet mignon to the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving it to develop a nice crust.
7
Flip and Add Aromatics
Flip the filet over and add butter, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
8
Baste the Steak
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the filet mignon with the melted butter and aromatic mixture for enhanced flavor.
9
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read about 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
10
Rest the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
